Specially optimized for your pleasurable reading experience on the majority of 7″ or larger tablets, this update is also compatible with the Android 3.0 Honeycomb version. This will be a free app, so that’s another plus point going for it as you need not fork out even more money to feed that digital book/magazine habit.

WIth more than 140 top magazine and newspaper brands to choose from, you will be spoilt for reading material. Just to get a better idea of what you can potentially enjoy, they include Esquire, Maxim, Men’s Health, Rolling Stone, Newsweek, Popular Science, PC Magazine, Elle, O, The Oprah Magazine, Travel + Leisure and many others.

NOOK for Android on larger tablets would make magazine reading a snap, since you can engage more fully with full-color pages in landscape and portrait mode, while relying on gestures to perform a slew of roles such as manipulating the slider to jump to the desired page, pinch and zoom to enlarge images and more.
